About this listen

 In "Jesse Sings," Victor Hess weaves a poignant tale of hope, resilience, and the lengths one boy will go to mend his fractured family. Set against the backdrop of a small town in the 1950s, where gossip spreads like wildfire and outsiders are met with suspicion, Jesse Hall’s life is anything but easy. His father’s descent into alcoholism and gambling shatters their once-loving family, leaving Jesse and his pregnant mother to fend for themselves in a new town..

Determined to overcome the adversity that threatens to destroy them, Jesse clings to the hope of seeing his family healed. Jesse, an outsider in their new close-knit community, is met with suspicion and hostility. School bullies make his days a nightmare, and a well-meaning but misguided preacher conspires to have him taken from his mother by alerting a fervent social worker to their struggles.

Yet, Jesse is no ordinary boy; he’s an underdog with an unyielding spirit. Despite the odds, he contributes to his fractured family, delivering newspapers, collecting bottles, and scavenging for coins, all the while holding fast to the belief that his father will one day return. Along the way, Jesse’s strength and resilience draw the attention of some unlikely allies—a compassionate deputy sheriff, a warm-hearted five-and-dime clerk, and a loyal new friend—who rally around him in his darkest moments.

"Jesse Sings," the first installment in the Searching for Family trilogy, is a stirring coming-of-age novel that explores the sacrifices made for family, the trials of the human spirit, and the courage it takes to remain hopeful in a world that seldom offers second chances. Fans of "Hatchet," "To Kill a Mockingbird," and "Where the Crawdads Sing" will be enthralled by Jesse’s journey. Coming of Age Genre Fiction Literary Fiction
